Ok, that makes sense since the Talon SRX doesn't even have the 5V wire on the PWM cable connection. I guess the PWM signal line can pretty much be guaranteed to be able to source enough current to drive the opto.
Regardless, an off the shelf receiver will most likely require a 5V or 6V source from somewhere.
